Vocational Student Organizations
All vocational-technical programs at Steel Center AVTS have a
vocational student organization. These clubs are a co-curricular component
of each program. Each vocational organization is affiliated with a state and
national chapter. These student organizations elect officers early in the
school year and hold monthly meetings. An important aspect of vocational

improvement of technical skills through organized education activities and
instruction.
